Play Date

FiestyWench came over this afternoon and bought her new wheel, the lovely Ms Rose along for a play date.

Unfortunately Bear and I are still having issues regarding suitable chew toys so Ms Charlotte Sheridan refused to play and stayed in the spare room ... I knitted instead. I still haven't cast on with the Olympic yarn - which FW got to pat - but 't'will probably happen tomorrow. I'm leaning towards the Broad Ripples . In the meantime I'm nearly finished this top for Riley : FW didoffer me a turn on Rose [ or is she Rosie?] but she's still too new and pristine.I almost felt the need to humble myself at her feet ... I mean pedals ... "we are not worthy. we are not worthy"Maybe next time.I nearly had heart failure when FW and I popped outside for a while and Bear decided to taste test the handpainted merino roving. Luckily he left the wheel alone.

As a side note -we have discovered even more similarities on this visit - musical tastes, health issues, you name it, so now poor FW has a clear vision of the person she may turn into in a couple of decades.Be afraid my sweetBe very afraid

About Me

Walking the fine line between creativity and obsession on my 10 acres of bushland. I share my life with my severely autistic son, and also my daugher and son-in-law, 4 cats and 4 goats, a very small dog who apparently thinks he's a Rottweiler ... or a cat ... and a collection of fabrics and fibres that can be seen from space.
